By 2020, countries commit for achieving the sustainable management of marine ecosystems and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds. This will require an international scientific partnership, regulation for fish harvesting, fishing, and enhance our research knowledge on critical issues concerned to the survival of life below water. The Ministry of Earth Sciences is the focal point in the country to provide input on regional and global science based issues for policy making. Research and Information System for Developing Countries (RIS), in collaboration with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and NITI Aayog, Government of India, and with support from the UN in India, is spearheading a programme of national consultations among lawmakers, policymakers, academia, private sector and the civil society on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The National Centre for Coastal Research (NCCR), Chennai is an attached office of the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India. NCCR aims to apply scientific tools and techniques in addressing problems like erosion, ecosystem changes and seawater quality monitoring to monitor the levels of marine pollutants in the seas around India. The NCCR implemented programmes on integrated coastal and marine area management (ICMAM) plan, GIS-based information for critical habitats, determination of waste assimilation capacity, development of EIA guidelines, determination of ‘no impact zone’, determination of best use classification for coastal waters, shoreline management plans, ecosystem modelling for coastal habitats, marine ecotoxicology and storm surge inundation modelling. NCCR attracts more interaction by research communities at the national and international level with its competence and capabilities developed for the last three decades and enhance the countries capabilities in addressing the challenging problems prevailing in the coastal zone. India’s focus on oceans and marine resources management has been forward looking. With close to 129 institutions in the country working on marine and ocean related issues, largely supported by four ministries of Government of India. NCCR has a mandate to address the coastal issues and challenges across the coastal states of India. Countries across the Indo-Pacific region are having common coastal problems and issues to be addressed. Hence, to share the scientific knowledge on advances in coastal research an International Symposium on Advances in Coastal Research with special reference to Indo Pacific- 2019 (AdCoRe IP 2019) is being organized by the NCCR, Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India in collaboration with RIS. The symposium is expected to attract the global scientific experts, academician, researchers and policy makers onto the common platform of collaborating in the area of global challenges facing coastal regions worldwide. Outcome of the symposium will be useful to better understand the common coastal issues of concern, enhance regional co- operation, devise unique strategies and fine tune national policies across the Indo Pacific region. About the National Centre for Coastal Research The National Centre for Coastal Research (NCCR), Chennai is an attached office of the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India established in 1998. Vision of NCCR is to carry out cutting edge coastal research and offer scientific advisory for better management of coastal areas with a mission to develop and provide solutions to coastal issues such as marine pollution, coastal erosion, sea level rise, coastal flooding, restoration and conservation stratergies for critical habitats through monitoring, modelling and applied research. NCCR has a mandate for developing and improving capability to understand the critical coastal parameters, processes and phenomena through continuous monitoring and research for sustainable use of resources. Currently, NCCR has taken up the socially relevant scientific programmes such as seawater quality monitoring, prediction, ecosystem modelling, marine ecotoxicology, coastal processes & shoreline management, marine litter and capacity building. About the Research and Information System for Developing Countries (RIS) Research and Information System for Developing Countries (RIS), a New Delhi based autonomous think-tank under the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India, is an organization that specializes in policy research on international economic issues and development cooperation. RIS is envisioned as a forum for fostering effective policy dialogue and capacity-building among developing countries on international economic issues. The focus of the work programme of RIS is to promote South- South Cooperation and assist developing countries in multilateral negotiations in various forums. RIS is engaged in the Track II process of several regional initiatives. RIS is providing analytical support to the Government of India in the negotiations for concluding comprehensive economic cooperation agreements with partner countries. Through its intensive network of policy think tanks, RIS seeks to strengthen policy coherence on international economic issues. Themes of the Symposium Keeping the focus on “Coastal Research Advances”, we invite papers on topics of interest to Ocean Scientists / Academicians /Engineers and Technologists in the following areas: Coastal Erosion and Sediment Transport Marine Pollution and Marine Litter Forecasting Coastal Hazards and Sea Level Change Coastal Vulnerability, Floods and Modeling Coastal Ecosystems and Modeling – SDG 14 Climate Change and its Impacts on the Coasts Blue Economy (Resources, Energy) and Coastal Governance Ocean Technologies and Small Island Developing States THEME 1: Coastal Erosion and Sediment Transport The vast majority of research into coastal hydrodynamics and associated sediment transport has been concerned with beaches comprising either a single sediment type - sand or gravel, OR both - mixed beaches. Typical problems faced by shoreline managers with such beaches include: - inability to determine the sensitivity of the beach profile and cross-sectional area to variations in sediment distributions - uncertainty in predicting longshore or offshore losses of recharge materials over time - inability to predict beach response in the vicinity of coastal structures - inability to predict the importance of seepage through barrier beaches Given the operational difficulties and lack of environmental control during field studies on mixed beaches, the way ahead to understand their sediment transport processes, particularly beach profile response, lies in physical modelling. There is a need for information about the performance of recharge schemes using mixed sediments, preferably by comparing the pre- and post-scheme beach behaviour. Changes in sediment distributions and beach profiles over time, sediment budgets, management operations, storm responses and ther impact of structures will help to better understand the processes. Rigorous comparisions of performance against design predictions will be important to determine the weaknesses in existing predictive approaches. Ultimately, the longer term wave climate/beach profile/sediment composition monitoring must be synthesized with detailed short-term process studies to answer the most pressing of beach replenishment questions. THEME 2: Marine Pollution and Marine Litter Marine pollution is the trash that we put into the ocean and can be anything from fishing equipment to toys and plastic bags. Litter is found in all the world's oceans and seas, even in remote areas far from human contact and obvious sources of the problem. The continuous growth in the amount of solid waste thrown away, and the very slow rate of degradation of most items, are together leading to a gradual increase in marine litter found at sea, on the sea floor and coastal shores. It is an economic, environmental, human health and aesthetic problem posing a complex and multi- dimensional challenge. Marine litter results from human behaviour, whether accidental or intentional. The greatest sources of it are land-based activities, including: wastes released from dumpsites near the coast or river banks the littering of beaches tourism and recreational use of the coasts fishing industry activities and ship-breaking yards. Storm-related events – like floods - flush the resulting wastes out to sea where they sink to the bottom or are carried on coastal eddies and ocean currents. The major sea- based sources include: abandoned, lost, or discarded fishing gear shipping activitiesand legal and illegal dumping. All this can cause serious economic losses. Coastal communities are facing increased

  • Twice As Tall Author: Rakesh Khanna Illustrator: Jemma Jose My Name Is Muthulakshmi P
    Twice as Tall Author: Rakesh Khanna Illustrator: Jemma Jose My name is Muthulakshmi P. and I am exactly 1 metre tall. That’s the same as 100 centimetres. I know because I went to the doctor’s office today and the nurse measured me against the wall. “You’re growing so quickly, Muthulakshmi,” said the nurse. “How tall will I be when I’m all grown up?” I asked. “Nobody knows yet!” said the nurse. “You have to just wait and watch.” 2/17 1 + 1 = 2 I started to wonder: What if I doubled in height? What if I grew to be 2 metres tall? That’s the same as 200 centimetres. I’d be taller than the nurse. I’d even be taller than Suresh Mama, the tallest person in my family. 3/17 What if I doubled in height AGAIN? 2 + 2 = 4 What if I grew to be 4 metres tall? I’d play for the Indian women’s basketball team in the Olympics. I’d be the tallest person on Earth. I’d be famous! 4/17 What if I doubled in height YET AGAIN? 4 + 4 = 8 What if I grew to be 8 metres tall? Imagine how enormous my dresses would need to be! I definitely wouldn’t be able to find any clothes my size in a shop. I would need a very clever tailor. 5/17 And what if I grew twice as tall as that? 8 + 8 = 16 Just imagine, I would be 16 metres tall! I could pick coconuts without climbing the trees.

We have only tried to manifest them in the field. Sir we have been, in recent years, commissioning number of schemes on aids to marine navigation like Vessel Traffic Services, National AIS Network, Commissioning of Lighthouses. But today, we have taken three scheme together one in our core area – Foundation Laying Ceremony of Porto Novo Navtex Transmitting Station and two our teritarial area - opening of Madras Lighthouse to general public and a technical museum. 2 Page Sir, the saga of navigation and human civilization has run concurrently. With navigation arose, the requirement of landmark where one returns back after the voyage. The history of lighthouses must have started in this way. We have the manifestation of such land mark near Gujarat and crucible on the Olakaneshwara temple at Mahabalipuram. However, due to its very nature and due to history in itself we have not been able to preserve such marks.

  • DG Shipping Has Instituted an Inquiry in the Collision of Two Ships Off
    DG Shipping has Instituted an inquiry in the Collision of two ships off Kamrajar Harbour By : INVC Team Published On : 4 Feb, 2017 06:15 PM IST INVC NEWS New Delhi, Two vessels namely, M.T. BW MAPLE and M.T. DAWN KANCHIPURAM while crossing each other collided at 03.45AM on 28th January, 2017 outside the Kamrajar harbour. The Oil Tanker, M.T. DAWN KANCHIPURAM, which was carrying 32813 Tonnes of POL, suffered a rupture which led to engine oil spill (and not the POL being carried as cargo). There was no casualty or injury to the crew members. Kamarajar Port had immediately deployed oil boom around the vessel after bringing it to a safe location at 07.00 AM on 28th January, 2017 to contain seepage if any. No further seepage was discovered. The situation was closely monitored by top officials of the Port from the time of accident and the required assistance was rendered to both vessels. Since the oil tanker M.T. Kanchipuram was loaded with a huge amount of POL cargo, it was critical to ensure that this vessel is safely berthed and its cargo discharged to obviate the possibility of any further catastrophic accident and a major oil spill. Immediate steps were taken to assess the damage to the vessel. The diving team of Kamarajar Port carried out under-water inspections. The port officials consulted the respective Classification Societies and DG, Shipping officials who carried out inspection of the vessels internally and externally. After examining the stability of the vessel, it was decided to berth the M.T.
